Monessen Hearth Systems said Tuesday it had purchased CFM's operations in Vermont, which includes facilities in Randolph and Bethel, and CFM's operations in Mexico, including physical plants, machinery, equipment, inventory and contracts.

It's unknown how the deal will affect the more than 200 jobs in Vermont.

Monessen calls itself a "leading full line supplier of hearth products." The company, based in Paris, Ky., produces more than 150,000 fireplaces a year.
